ALLISTON DISTRICT SNOWMOBILE CLUB NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!
Due to a lack of volunteers, the local snowmobile club is not able to sustain itself. We are in dire need of volunteers to put in and take out trails annually, and take executive positions in the club.
Anyone who snowmobiles, this may be the last year for local trails unless some of you step up and come help
out. We manage 120km of local trails in and around Alliston, both on
and off private lands. Only with a tremendous amount of volunteer work
are we able to remain part of the OFSC (Ontario Federation of Snowmobile
Clubs) and the sport of Snowmobiling in general.
Without volunteers there are no trails.

Algonquin Provincial Park is famous for its fall colours and gets
lots of visitors at this time of year. So we asked the park staff for
five tips for fall-colour viewing. Here’s what they tell us:
1. Visit less-used access points like the Kingscote Access Point
(Access Point 15) along the southern “Panhandle” of the park. Park
permits are available there. Trails include the 13 kilometre Byers Lake
Mountain Bike Trail (rated moderate). A 150-metre side trail takes you
to Gut Rapids, a narrow, scenic canyon on the York River. A short paddle
will take you to peaceful campsites.
2. Consider hiking a longer trail like the Track and Tower (7.5km), or Mizzy Lake (15km). Descriptions of each are found on the Friends of Algonquin Park website
3. Hike a portion of an Algonquin backpacking trail such as Western Uplands. Normally you’ll encounter fewer hikers on it than the Lookout or Beaver Pond trails at this time of year.
4. Peak hours in Algonquin Provincial Park are generally 10am-4pm and on weekends. As the sun sets earlier in fall, plan to arrive earlier in the day or visit mid-week when the park is less busy.
5. If walking is difficult, take a drive down Arowhon Road, at 16km. The 1.5 km Spruce Bog trail is also wheelchair-accessible (located at 42.5km on Highway 60).
